Sounds good to me! Is Silver Dollar open any time before March, or is it closed for the season? I'm getting a better torque converter some time soon, and I HOPEING to get high 12's with tuning.

 

[67RAT]

lets guess 12.60-12.80 on a fair day,sould do that with ease---jmo----67rat

Ill also go with 13's. I think getting into the 12's is doable with that combo in some situations....however, as well as plenty of tuning and track time I think it will need the right converter to get 12's with it. Being that you dont know anything about the converter, theres a good chance that you could do better in that area cause it would be a bit of a longshot if you just "ended" up with a good converter that acts just right in your setup. See what Im sayin. But still....just maybe. Let us know when you do.

I think there is a possible 12 second time there...

Zach I forgot to ask. Is that with or without all those kids in the car!!! hehe!

 

[Bob West]

Low 13's, might sneak into the high 12's, a 2800lb Chevelle?? How did you do that?

 

[Tracy Focht]

12.90-13.10 good looking combo

 

[junglejimmie]

Where did the 2800 lb. come from? That car looks more like the normal 3800 lb.... My '70 is not gutted but, it is "lightened" as much as reasonably possible and is still 3300 lbs....

I think he needs to roll it onto a certified scale.......he'll be very surprised if he now believes it's 2800 lbs......JJim


P.S. mid 13's

 

[Georgia69]

They always have the scales open at Silver Dollar. My 69 weighs 3850 with driver, 1/4 tank of gas, no jack, and no spare. I'm betting Zach's car weighs within 200 pounds of mine.

Lol. Remember I'm one of the "kids" I'm only 16, but my dad will be driving and I'll be on the sideline.

 

[Chevelle408]

Thanks for all the help. When I race it and get it tuned I'll post updates.

 

[HPseeker]

I will go with low 13's . ,good luck .
